this is kind of poorboy but i put two long hose clamps on the end that comes
off the tailgate that way i can lower the gate without having to unlock
something. and i figured that the way i put the clamps on it would be to
much trouble for someone to steal unless they had alot of time.
one hoseclamp on one way and the other the other way. well thats the way i
did my tailgate lock anyway.
